Comment Reminder and Request

Do you notice that when you post a Comment, it does not appear?  Do you post it again and again?  Then, after a while, do you notice that it suddenly appears?

This is not aberrant behavior. Instead, it is by design because comments on this blog, as well as all other blogs in the Law Professor Blog Network, are moderated.  This means that a comment will not appear until the blog editor approves the comment.  This requirement is imposed because the blog editor may be held liable for the publication of comments under the theory of publisher liability. Because of publisher liability concerns, the Law Professor Blogs Network does not allow automatic comment publishing.

Important Caveat:  Comments which contain potentially libelous material will either be edited to exclude the potentially libelous material or not posted at all.  Thus, I respectfully request that you refrain from including potentially libelous material in your comments.  TIA.
